You mix 265.0 mL of 1.20 M lead(II) nitrate with 293 mL of 1.55 M potassium iodide. The lead(II) iodide is insoluble. What amount (g) of solid is produced from this mixture

105 grams PbI₂

Explanation:

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2KI => 2KNO₃ + PbI₂(s)

moles Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.265L(1.2M) = 0.318 mole

moles KI = 0.293(1.55M) = 0.454 mole => Limiting Reactant

moles PbI₂ from mole KI in excess Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1/2(0.454 mole) = 0.227 mol PbI₂

grams PbI₂ = 0.227 mol PbI₂ x 461 g/mole = 104.68 g ≈ 105 g PbI₂(s)

104.6 grams of PbI2 (solid) will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of a 1.20 M lead(II) nitrate = 265.0 mL = 0.265 L

Volume of a 1.55 M potassium iodide = 293.0 mL = 0.293 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2KI(aq) → 2KNO3(aq) + PbI2(s)

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles Pb(NO3)2 = 1.20 M * 0.265 L

Moles Pb(NO3)2 = 0.318 moles

Moles KI = 1.55 M * 0.293 L

Moles KI = 0.454 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol Pg(NO3)2 we need 2 moles of KI to produce 2 moles of KNO3 and 1 mol of PbI2

Ki is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.454 moles) Pb(NO3)2 is in excess. There will react 0.454 / 2 = 0.227 moles

There will remain 0.318 moles - 0.227 =0.091 moles

Step 5: Calculete moles PbI2

For 1 mol Pg(NO3)2 we need 2 moles of KI to produce 2 moles of KNO3 and 1 mol of PbI2

For 0.454 moles KI we'll have 0.454/2 = 0.227 moles PbI2

Step 6: Calculate mass PbI2

Mass PbI2 = moles PbI2 * molar mass PbI2

Mass PbI2 = 0.227 moles * 461.01 g/mol

Mass PbI2 = 104.6 grams

104.6 grams of PbI2 (solid) will be produced

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
